Definitely fraud. Any legitimate emails from eBay or Paypal would have your name at the top (i.e. is personal to you) - that's the best way to tell if they are real or not.
We get a couple of these fake ones per week
Just ignore them.

Basically ANY e-mail like that IS a scam. No company will ever ask you for any personal details NOR will they put any form of web links in an e-mail they will just as you to login as normal to the site.

I can't believe there are still people falling for these it may look quite clever but if your account had been "compromised" why would ebay ask u to log in?
Also, the english is terrible, "informations??", it's scammers wanting to log in as u so they can look like a genuine bidder.
